Chapter 5339 Avoiding Negotiations

Published Mar 16, 2026, 06:24 PM

Originally, he had wanted to get something for nothing, but now, not only did he get nothing, but he also got five identity waist tokens. The key was that this was a natural request, so he couldn't even say a word to stop it and could only obediently agree. "Then, thank you Deputy sect leader Chen." Lin Yi smiled as he took the five tags and gave them out to the group. "You're welcome. I'll have to trouble martial granduncle to take care of the matter of me writing the heart technique. I still have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Chen Dongcheng was feeling very depressed at the moment. He did not want to stay a moment longer and immediately left in a hurry. "Tsk tsk, this is such an embarrassment. Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice!" Chentian and Lingshan looked at each other and smiled. "Alright, let's try the identity token first." Lin Yi had already checked the internal structure of the ID token the moment he took it-it was basically a miniature formation with an identification mechanism. There shouldn't be anything wrong with it, but he'd have to try it out to see if it worked. "Alright!" Chentian said excitedly, rushing to be the first one to test it out. He followed what Chen Dongcheng said and injected his spirit sense into the ID, and it glowed a little brighter. It was officially activated. Under everyone's gazes, Chentian walked out, and as expected, he passed through the ascending heaven in one step formation unscathed. "Boss, this thing is really useful. You should try it too." Chentian said as he ran back to Lin Yi with excitement. "It's no use, there's already a trace of your spiritual awareness left in here, just like a unique spiritual awareness fingerprint, no one else can use it except you. " Lin Yi said, shaking his head. "What about the ones we have? we haven't used them before." Lingshan said as she handed her tag to Lin Yi. In their current situation, if Lin Yi could come and go as he pleased, he would be much more valuable than these people. In fact, with their strength, they wouldn't dare to go out even if they had an identity token, for fear of falling into Chen Dongcheng's trap. "It's not possible either. The array inside it can only withstand a very limited amount of divine sense. It's probably specially prepared for new disciples, and only you can use it. If my divine sense is injected, the array will definitely collapse immediately. " Lin Yi smiled bitterly. Since Chen Dongcheng dared to give him his id so easily, he must have thought of this long ago. After all, he was no fool. "Alright," he said. The crowd couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. They had no choice but to keep their identity waist tokens and disperse to continue their cultivation. On the other hand, after leaving the ascending heaven cliff, Chen Dongcheng went to the top of the mountain again. "An unfavorable start?" Chen Jiu glanced at his face and said indifferently. "Yes, I made a very generous offer-I was going to give the five disciples he brought a golden core stage elder as their teacher, but Lin Yi made them accept the ID, saying that he wanted him to teach them personally. I've been working for nothing." Chen Dongcheng laughed bitterly. He had climbed to his current position mainly by relying on his scheming. He did not expect to be met with such a disheveled face. He was really unable to lift his head. "You've always been so calculative. It was originally a simple matter, but you've complicated it by yourself. " Chen Jiu couldn't help but laugh. "Complicated?" Chen Dongcheng was taken aback. He had listened to Chen Jiu's suggestion to divide and conquer, so he had naturally come up with this seemingly thoughtful idea without putting too much thought into it. He did not find it complicated because he had long been used to using the crown Emperor's rhetoric for every trap he set. "Isn't it? It's just asking for two female disciples, it's just a matter of a sentence, why waste so much time and effort. " Chen Jiu said disapprovingly. "This guy's a senior granduncle in name, after all-if I asked him for Lingshan and Ziyu, he'd probably give it back in one sentence-he can't be that direct, can he?" Chen Dongcheng was suspicious. "I only told you to simplify things, I didn't tell you not to use your brain," Chen Jiu shook his head. Seeing that the other party still had not opened his aperture, he could only say,"You go and tell him that this old master needs two female disciples who can serve tea and clean the place. As long as you send those two girls over, this old master can take the time to personally teach them. He's just a mere Foundation Stage cultivator, how could he be better than this old master?" "Yeah!" Chen Dongcheng's eyes brightened. The core reason why Lin Yi and the others rejected his suggestion today was that they didn't understand the practitioner's Arts as well as Lin Yi himself. It was hard to refute if he told this to the Golden core elders in the sect, but it was a completely different story if Chen Jiu came out personally. No matter how much Lin Yi prided himself on being an authentic cultivator, he was still a foundational Paragon, after all. On his side was the Grand Elder, a nascent soul old monster who stood at the top of the entire ancient martial world. How could he compare? Plus, getting the personal guidance of a nascent soul was something all disciples dreamed of. Chen Dongcheng believed that as long as he threw this bait out, everyone would take the bait willingly-not even Lin Yi could stop song Lingshan and Ying Ziyu! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 Chen Dongcheng returned to the cliff excitedly. Song Lingshan and the others were still cultivating, and Lin Yi was the only one outside. "Why are you here again? Didn't you say you had something to do?" Lin Yi looked at him strangely. "To tell you the truth, we were indeed busy just now. According to the rules, we have to report to the Grand Elder on a regular basis every month. Now that sect leader Hong is out, this matter can only be handed over to me." Chen Dongcheng said with a smile. "Oh?" Lin Yi's lips curved up,"I remember Deputy sect leader Chen told me a few days ago that Grand Elder was in closed door cultivation. Why did he come out so quickly?" "Uh, yes," Chen Dongcheng immediately felt a little embarrassed. He had been too excited after hearing Chen Jiu's idea and had forgotten about this. He quickly added,"The Grand Elder has just come out of seclusion. I only received the news this morning." "Then can I go and see the Grand Elder? Since the Grand Elder has already come out of seclusion, my identity waist token should also be set, right?" Lin Yi said. "I'm afraid that's not possible yet. The Grand Elder has come out of seclusion, but he still needs some time to recover. It's just that he's very concerned about the sect's Affairs, so I took the liberty to disturb him. I'm afraid that the meeting between you and him will have to be postponed for a while. In addition, the Grand Elder can't decide on your identity waist token alone. At the same time, sect leader Hong needs to be present, so this can only be discussed when he comes back. " Chen Dongcheng had an idea in the heat of the moment.
